Yes, with my immediate family and even my cousins. My H knows his family's birth month and days, but he has no idea what year his parents were born, which I can't understand. I was doing good on H's family, but then March filled up and it's too much. I'm 100% certain on my mom's birthday (8th) and my anniversary (10th), but between FIL, SIL, niece, and nephew, I just make sure I check my calendar every day.
I have one of those minds that can remember dates, phone numbers, license plates etc. really easily. But if you ask me what I had for dinner last night, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
To answer your question, yes I know my immediately family, extended family and DH's immediate family.
I know my parents, siblings(I am the oldest of six), niece/nephews and ILs. I usually have to do math for my sibling's birth years. And I have no idea of the years for the ILs'
Grandparents, I know the months for my dad's mom, my dad's dad is easy because we share a birthday. My mom's mom is also easy because it is my sister's birthday.
Aunts and uncles, no. My dad is one of 5 and my mom is one of 7. And we aren't really all that close.

I do. H doesn't but he is from Kenya and they didn't celebrate birthdays so they had no reason to know when they are. His sister's is the same as our oldest daughter so we know that one. But that's about it.
Yes. I also know my 3 BILs' birthdays, MIL, FIL & SIL. I know my nieces & nephews on my side of the family, but have trouble with the nieces on H's side. I only know the month and that one is around the 17th and the other is around the 23rd.

Parents, siblings, my kids and a couple of friends. That's all I can handld, because also, I thoughtfully send them invisible birthday cards every year.
No not really. I vaguely know when but can't list the exact dates. I do have six siblings though. But I'm bad at that stuff anyway. Always forget when my wedding anniversary is too
